Games that the world loves ... but you just can't get on with!

Does anybody else have certain games that are universally loved and critically acclaimed, but they just don't like?

I've got three personal examples, which everybody else loves, so please don't respond with explanations of how great they are. I know 99.999999% of the gaming population loves them. I personally ... do not

1) Minecraft : I got the XBLA version as soon as it was out. Didn't even trial it. I was that sure I was going to love it and be as enthused as everyone else. Nope. Have tried several times to force myself to get into it ... and I can't. I couldn't give less of a monkeys of building a house before nightfall and mining hard to find elements. I just can't be bothered, and as for those elaborate dwellings and cities that people build ... how do they find the time or sheer will-power to do that. Not for me I'm afraid...

3) Max Payne 3: Now I loved, and still love "Stranglehold", the John Woo inspired gunplay game, which was partly inspired by Max Payne, so why do I hate this? It just seemed old, pretentious, and not particularly fun to play. Rockstar's only disappointing game for me, but all reviewers loved it ...

I do like a lot of the populist games like Assassins Creed III, Halo 4, COD, etc... but those 3 games I just don't

Has anybody out there got some real burning dislike for other games that everybody else loves?

Assassins creed. I've played them up to brotherhood and love stealth games like splinter cell hitman, dishonoured etc but can't figure it out. I don't get on with halo although I have recently played a few games online of halo 3 and it was quite fu

Like OP Minecraft is one of the games i just can't love, it's awful and boring as hell. Call Of Duty is another one, i don't care what anyone says but in my opinion the only reason this game is so popular is because it's a game for casual gamers. You will always find casual gamers going for Call Of Duty. Mario............the most repetitive and over rated games of all time, same story same thing

I love Final Fantasy games. Everyone says FF7 is by far the best. I didn't like it at all. On the other side of this I loved FFX which a lot of people didn't.

I'd grown up playing the Snes ones and FFX felt to me like playing a retro one but with the modern graphics. I miss the turn based RPG, I started FFXIII and got to about chapter 10 and just stopped playing it.

Halo
I buy them all when they are cheap or have a special limited edition on a great offer, but they are nowhere near as good as people say they are. They are an ok fps, but nothing more. Reviewers always rave about how amazing they are, ign even gave the new one 9.8. But they're nothing special.

Also agree that Max Payne 3 was nothing particularly special, it was good, the gameplay was solid but lacked new ideas and any form of variation aside from environmental changes. Don't understand the fuss some people make over it, similar to Uncharted in that respect, though I do appreciate it a little more than the rampant and insincere hype for that particular series.

As for games I don't get along with:

Fallout 3/NV - Trust me I've tried and I'll probably try again but I just found the whole experience so incredibly boring.

Final Fantasy (series) - All except FFVIII has been complete and utter dirge of the highest order.

God of War (series) - Repetitive button masher with lame combat QTE-fest and fancy visuals. A typical modern day gamer's game, all bark and no bite.

Heavy Rain - Cancer to gaming as an artform. David Lynch fark off back to Hollywood please.

Assassins Creed (series) - It's just not fun no matter which way I look at it, so dull.
